Along life's journey, Amanda transforms from a frightened little girl into a glorious, confident woman. Amanda's difficult journey through life begins as a child-unwanted and unloved; raised in a traditional, religious and chaotic home, Amanda desires a happy, stable and fulfilling life. She is betrothed at the age of twenty by her parents. Thinking she has found happiness in her marriage, joy turns into misery; and her husband, Morgan, betrays her. Life continues downhill through a series of unfortunate events, even through much prayer and seeking the Lord. Amanda eventually resigns to a life of misery. Just when life hits rock bottom and a total standstill, Jesus comes through for her. Heaven's doors fling open, and Jesus comes swooping down, sweeping her off her feet, changing her life dramatically-in a way she never dreamed possible!

Book excerpt: FIND WHAT MATTERS MOST. BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND IT. In an age of distraction, everyone is looking for something that gives purpose and perspective on life. Jesus says it's the kingdom of God. But the kingdom is not just another religious idea. Rather, God's loving reign brings clarity and coherence to all of life - identity, work, play, relationships, justice, character - in a way that is profound and practical. Seek First brings theology to the streets, giving a vision for the kingdom that will truly change your life. "Treat presents the message of the kingdom in a way that gives us a grander vision for life, whether in the workplace or on the basketball court." - CHRIS BROUSSARD, NBA analyst and sports broadcaster "Few books do as good a job as this one in showing us how giving up everything for Christ and his kingdom is the pathway to our greatest gain.

Download or read book Jesus Outside the Lines written by Scott Sauls and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward—away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.
Download or read book In Quest of the Rock written by Michael F. Kuhn and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the monastic devotion of the church fathers and mothers to the spiritual disciplines we espouse today, the church has always searched for ways to deepen discipleship and to grow in Christ. In this book, the author delves into the source material, exploring Peter’s transformation from fisherman to apostle through the power of relational encounter. Jesus leads Peter on the journey of a disciple, reshaping the inner person, bringing Peter face- to-face with his shadow self. He is re-formed into “the rock” as his expectations and responses are challenged, leading him into a deep relational trust of Jesus aligned with his kingdom. The Jesus-way of discipleship is relational, personal and accessible. As readers are empowered to see their own journeys in the light of Peter’s, they will recognize their disappointments and unfulfilled aspirations as invitations into the reshaping and healing of their own hearts. This is a powerful resource for all who desire to grow in Christ, as well as those involved in the discipling of others.

Download or read book The Four Vision Quests of Jesus written by Steven Charleston and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique look at Christian biblical interpretation and theology from the perspective of Native American tradition. This book focuses on four specific experiences of Jesus as portrayed in the synoptic gospels. It examines each story as a “vision quest,” a universal spiritual phenomenon, but one of particular importance within North American indigenous communities. Jesus’ experience in the wilderness is the first quest. It speaks to a foundational Native American value: the need to enter into the “we” rather than the “I.” The Transfiguration is the second quest, describing the Native theology of transcendent spirituality that impacts reality and shapes mission. Gethsemane is the third quest. It embodies the Native tradition of the holy men or women, who find their freedom through discipline and concerns for justice, compassion, and human dignity. Golgotha is the final quest. It represents the Native sacrament of sacrifice (e.g., the Sun Dance). The chapter on Golgotha is a discussion of kinship, balance, and harmony: all primary to Native tradition and integral to Christian thought.

Introduction: A Note From Ben I can still remember the frustrated look on my dad's face after we had been driving for hours in his old red truck. My dad didn't see the need for the map that was tucked away in the side of his briefcase. He was convinced he knew where he was going. But after driving for three hours, I heard my dad sigh and he slowed down to a stop. "I don't remember this fork in the road," my dad said with that frustrated look I remember so well. He pulled off to the side of the road and stared out the window at what lay ahead. I watched several cars drive by us. Most of the cars continued to drive down the bigger of the two roads without even hesitating. This road was much wider than the other and was by far the busiest. It looked like it could hold hundreds of cars at once. It took several minutes before I finally saw a car drive down the second smaller road, and I wondered why there weren't many people traveling in that direction. After the cars made their choice of road, you could only see them for a few more seconds before they disappeared over the top of the hill. "Should I get the map, Dad?" I asked as I glanced behind his seat at his black briefcase. "Maybe that smaller road doesn't lead to anything important since not very many are driving that way." But my comments didn't seem to help. He still had that look on his face, and he started tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. After a few more minutes, he reached for his phone to check the signal again. We had not had phone service for the past hour, and I don't think that was helping my dad's mood. He let out another sigh and started fumbling with his briefcase until he found the right pocket. My dad needed a map. In fact, we all need a map. *** You will make millions of decisions during your lifetime. But the most important decision you will ever make is whether you will take the wide or narrow road...... To follow Jesus down the narrow road you need a map just like Ben's dad did. Your map is the Bible. A map helps you see which way to go, and that's exactly what the Bible does. The Bible is God's way of helping you follow Jesus down the narrow road. Notice no one forced Ben's dad to take the narrow road on that trip they took. And no one will force you to follow Jesus. It is your choice. Following Jesus, and going on the narrow road, is not always easy. And it is definitely not always popular. But as you avoid that busy, wide road, you will find how great it is to be different. And the good news is you do not have to be perfect to do this.... In this book, we will be talking about this narrow road as your "path". God has a special path planned just for you, and He wants to help you follow it.
